Sobre Mim / About me / 自己紹介
Olá,
こんにちは。
Tudo bem?
お元気ですか?
My name is Lilian. I majored in Brazilian and Japanese studies at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and, passionate about languages, I have worked in the fields of education and translation most of my life.
私の名前はリリアンです。リオデジャネイロ連邦大学(UFRJ)でブラジル・日本学を専攻し、言語が大好きで、これまでの人生の大部分を教育と翻訳の分野で過ごしてきました。
After specializing in Education at Mie University (Japan), I have worked a few years as an educational counselor (for foreign children) in elementary and middle schools in Japan.
三重大学(日本)で教育学を専門に学んだ後、日本の小学校・中学校で外国人の子ども向けに教育カウンセラーとして数年間勤務しました。
Subsequently, I taught Portuguese at Kanda University of International Studies and Sophia University for about ten years, coupled with my work as an announcer/translator at the Portuguese section of NHK World Radio Japan (International Broadcasting).
その後、神田外語大学(Kanda University of International Studies)と上智大学(Sophia University)で約10年間ポルトガル語を教えながら、NHKワールド・ラジオジャパンのポルトガル語部門でアナウンサー/翻訳者としても働きました。
Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, besides Japan, I have also lived in France and now in the USA. I love languages, literature, teaching, traveling, learning and embracing the new.
リオデジャネイロ生まれ育ちで、日本のほかにフランスにも住んだ経験があり、現在はアメリカに住んでいます。言語、文学、教育、旅行、学ぶこと、そして新しいことに挑戦するのが大好きです。
I look forward to sharing my love of Portuguese with you!
皆さんと一緒にポルトガル語への愛を共有できることを楽しみにしています!
Lilian K.

Me as a teacher:
My life experience in 4 countries has allowed me to teach people of different ages, nationalities and backgrounds, from elementary school to university and corporate level. My teaching method is a result of my perspective as a language learner from an early age and also from experimenting with various teaching styles.
Languages spoken:
Portuguese, Japanese, English, French and currently studying Italian.
Portuguese Language
Portuguese is a Romance Language with roots in Latin. The interaction with many Amerindian (particularly the Tupi) and African languages influenced Brazilian Portuguese and caused it to subtly change from the Portuguese language spoken in its home country (Portugal).
Further, after Brazilian independence from Portugal in 1822, different waves of immigration brought other linguistic contributions from various cultures.
According to the Ethnologue (2014), Portuguese is now the 6th most widely spoken language in the world with about 203 million speakers.
As a country mother tongue, it is spoken in 9 nations and 4 continents: Brazil, Portugal, Mozambique, Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, São Tomé e Príncipe, East Timor and Equatorial Guinea. It is also the official language of Macau, a special administrative region of China
